020: How to Manage Parenting Differences

Parenting is one of the topics that couples disagree and argue about most frequently. And because we don't always use the best conflict tactics this topic can become highly charged and we can create an environment of criticism, blame, and defensiveness. But as we discussed in Episode 17, differences in parenting style are inevitable. So  the key here is that rather than trying to make sure we never disagree, we need to change the WAY we handle those disagreements. And that's what we cover in this episode. I am also sharing my free Partners in Parenting workbook which you can download here:GET THE PARTNERS IN PARENTING WORKBOOK HERE!PLUS for a limited time you can get in on the Pre-Sale of my new course Partners in ParentingFor shownotes and more episodes checkout www.laurafroyen.com/podcast

Parenting is often lived in the extremes. It’s either great joy or chaotic overwhelm. One moment you’re nailing it and the next you’re losing your cool. I want to help you find your way to the messy middle, to a place of balance. You see, balance is a verb, not a state of being. It is a thing you DO, not a thing you ARE. It’s an action, a process, a series of micro-corrections that we make, each and every day, to keep ourselves feeling centered. We are never truly balanced, we are engaged in the process of balancing.Hello, I’m Dr. Laura Froyen, and this is the Balancing Parenting Podcast, where overwhelmed, stressed-out, and disconnected parents go to find tools, mindset shifts, and practices to help them stop yelling at the people they love and start connecting all delivered with heaping doses of grace and compassion. Join me in conversations that will help you get clear on your goals and values and start showing up in your parenting, your relationships, YOUR LIFE, with open-hearted authenticity and balance.
